  • These points were all disproved long ago. The jack is a the same thickness as the display.

    The reason is because BT headphones have a much higher margin, and need to be replaced every few years because of the battery (if not already replaced because they were lost or damaged).

    It's just a dumb cash grab.

  • LOL at your downvotes. I went to Catholic school and was taught BY PRIESTS AND NUNS that Jesus probably wasn't one person but a composite of numerous roving preachers (a fad at the time). Oh, and early Christianity probably started as a mushroom cult. If the Catholics (Catholics!) could learn to apply reason to religion anyone can.

  • Reddit is useless for questions. If you're a subject-matter expert in something, find the subreddit for it and prepare to be horrified.

  • Trying to be a Reddit clone.

    Reddit was shit to begin with. It was a dumbed down forum site for people who found sites like Plastic or Kuro5hin too intimidating or complicated(!).

    Slashdot-style upvoting would instantly solve a lot of "Reddit"-type problems, because instead of just good/bad, or like/dislike, the reason for the vote is noted, such as "insightful", "funny", etc., and you can then filter and sort comments much easier. Just filtering out "funny" comments saved soooooooo much time.

    Another thing: Why don't creators of threads have the option to admin their own threads? It's their thread! It wouldn't be appropriate for discussion threads (for obvious reasons), but for interpersonal posts and questions, it makes perfect sense for the creator to be able to have control over what appears in the thread to keep it on topic and the trolls at bay. It's pretty rare to see a post where someone asks a question that doesn't quickly devolve into an offtopic mess, and the creator is usually attacked for trying to bring it back on topic. This has made Reddit useless for question-answering (and besides, the most upvoted answer is almost always wrong.)

    Is the purpose of these forums to enable authentic conversation, or just to farm content regardless of quality (to be sold to AI companies, presumably)?

  • Everyone's different. I remember a lot, and so clean up on trivia night.

    Even if you aren't the type to remember, you're still learning. The details aren't always as important as the concepts.

  • They'll false-flag or just start killing people. They don't need a reason anymore.

    This whole "don't have violent protests because they'll declare martial law" is a psyop preparing people for martial law and pre-loading it with the assumption that when it does happen (and it will) it will be the fault of the protesters, despite evidence to the contrary.

    Fascism 101 guys. Don't be a sucker.

  • They'll declare the Chinese factory part of the US Embassy.

  • And the bankrupt farms will be bought up en-masse by corporations owned by Gates and other billionaires who will "make a deal" to let them get away with slave immigrant labor. It's part of the plan.

  • Yeah but in English you can be self-satisfyingly smug about changing your spelling whether the original post is British, Canadian, American, Australian, or New Zealand English, even though nobody will notice or give a shit.

  • Starlink should be globalized. A planet only needs one low-altitude orbiting communications network. Better to standardize the technology and platform and let them contribute to one system than to have a dozen identical competing systems crashing into each other and fucking things up for everyone.

  • IMHO it's a mental illness. “Without religion, people would rape all they want” is a great quote, because most of these people are projecting. They actually would go around raping all they wanted (and with great enthusiasm) if there wasn't some authority to prevent them, because that's who they are. They cannot comprehend people who voluntarily wouldn't rape people even when they could, because they can't put themselves into the head of other people.

  • Or the 2A people are perfectly content with their place in a fascist society.

  • Yeah, better to just sit around and do nothing. It's not like it could get worse.

  • Secession is what Russia is blackmailing him for. Secede MAGA instead.

  • Stack Overflow hasn't been useful for at least 10 years, if not longer.

    The flagged "correct" answer is almost always wrong due to idiotic power-users and the vast horde of idiots who upvote obviously wrong answers because they're bootlickers. The real answer is usually buried in between the posts by gatekeepers, pedants, idiots with something to prove, wannabe admins, egotistical idiots, the highly opinionated technologically insecure, etc ad nauseam. Reddit is just as bad for tech questions, if not worse.

    Since I started using LLMs (running on my own inference server) I haven't used anything else for tech questions that wasn't opinion-based. Much, much more useful, and it requires you to think seriously about the problem to come up with a good prompt -- which often gives you the answer before you even finish the prompt.

  • All of those sites are right-wing propaganda operations. Every single one of them.

    Factual news is almost always going to be liberal biased. Sites like these encourage journalists to bias their news stories to the right for no good reason.

    I'm surprised so many people are falling for this.

  • Oh yeah. This does it for me too. A 20-something volume series space-opera or tactical space-war is perfect for GSD. Works great for insomnia too.

    Fortunately we’re in a sci-fi golden-age so there’s lots of great stuff to keep a brain happily occupied while the body mindlessly toils. Urban fantasy is another great genre for this. There’s even urban-fantasy space-opera if that’s your thing, lol.

  • I find it odd that anyone thinks there's going to be (fair) elections. The Democrats (or any party other than MAGA Republicans) are never going to be in power again, ever.

    Too any rich and powerful people will end up in prison if that happened, and right now they're the ones writing (and rewriting) the rules and breaking the things they can't control.

    It's going on in front of everyone's eyes and the consequences are just being ignored by most. It's mindboggling.
